pezkuwichain 1c0e57d984 feat: Rebrand Polkadot/Substrate references to PezkuwiChain
This commit systematically rebrands various references from Parity Technologies'
Polkadot/Substrate ecosystem to PezkuwiChain within the kurdistan-sdk.

Key changes include:
- Updated external repository URLs (zombienet-sdk, parity-db, parity-scale-codec, wasm-instrument) to point to pezkuwichain forks.
- Modified internal documentation and code comments to reflect PezkuwiChain naming and structure.
- Replaced direct references to  with  or specific paths within the  for XCM, Pezkuwi, and other modules.
- Cleaned up deprecated  issue and PR references in various  and  files, particularly in  and  modules.
- Adjusted image and logo URLs in documentation to point to PezkuwiChain assets.
- Removed or rephrased comments related to external Polkadot/Substrate PRs and issues.

This is a significant step towards fully customizing the SDK for the PezkuwiChain ecosystem.

Keys and Security

The following information is not exhaustive but meant to prevent the most common mistakes. You can read more about security and risks in the Pezkuwi Wiki. The Pezkuwi network has a few test networks, e.g. Zagros. Test networks are a great way to experiment and learn safely as you can lose tokens on those networks without any financial consequences.

subkey generates and provides 2 pieces of secret information:

  • secret phrase: a bunch of words, exactly 12 by default (can be 12, 15, 18, 21 or 24)
  • secret seed: a big hexadecimal value

There are 2 risks related to private keys:

  • loss of keys: this can happen if you don't have a proper backup
  • leak of the keys: this can unfortunately happen in many ways, including malware, phishing, key logger, backups on system that are online and not properly secured

You want to ensure that:

  • you do not lose those secrets
  • no one but you can access those secrets

☠️ DO NOT SHARE your mnemonic phrase or secret seed with ANYONE under ANY circumstances. Doing so would give them access to your funds and to send transactions on your behalf.

☠️ If someone is asking for your secret phrase or secret seed, you can be SURE they are attempting to steal your funds.

It is however fine to share your SS58 Address as this is meant to be public information and is needed by anyone you want to be able to make transfer to or otherwise interact with your account. They will only ever need your Public Address.

⚠️ While using the same key on multiple networks is possible, it is usually not recommended unless you have good motivations for doing so and understand the associated risks and drawbacks.
